Depends on what car and mods to be honest, driving style will affect this also

Saw 400 miles out of one tank in mine, but, there's no reserve warning light on an early car.

280 miles is my best ever in this car, When i filled up i put just over 49 litres in so had less that 1 litre left in the system but it averages around 200 to a tank.

2002 WRX.
filter, back box, fmic (at the mo)
Driven by the missus. About 350 per tank, easy.
By me, significantly less. 260-280 pertank.
If anyone would car to do the math. 21 litres of v-power to 57 mile.
Think I came up with around 12mpg

12.4 mpg!!!
I did 1,373 miles on 208 litres of fuel which works out at 30mpg - I was well chuffed!!
How big are impreza fuel tanks? I thought 60 litres but above post suggests 50. I have a 2005 WRX

My RB320 - full tank about 7 miles after warning light cost me £66 the other day for V-Power. Get about 280 miles a tank as daily drive.

That doesn't seem great from a gx, about 17mpg, do you do a lot of town driving with a heavy right foot?
I have a blob wrx wagon and get between 305-310 before the light comes on, part town and part country run.

Town driving will have a big effect on consumption figures. Is it rush hour driving you do as well? Do you drive it hard at all?......(not a bad thing, as everyone has a little play).

no more than likely the roads are very quiet but theres alot of stop starts at traffic lights, i dont drive it hard at all really i suppose its a very heavy car though with just a flat2 liter engine
